The joint-committee appropriations conference report passed by a vote of 57-35. The report cleared the House on Thursday, and now the $446.8 billion 2010 omnibus appropriations bill, which underlies the report and also boosts the budget of the National Science Foundation by $436 million, or 6.7 percent, awaits the signature of President Barack Obama.
